I want you to kys because you have to either be a contrarian or an uneducated retard to think that. It's literally the best expression of these kind of thoughts that exists and actual intellectuals have reflected on these words for centuries.

You have to think conceptually horizontal when reading translations. Think in synonyms. You could find the connotations: 'emptiness', 'worthlessness', 'fleeting', 'superficial, 'illusory', 'impermanent' etc.

>>17065943
Yes. With the Song of Songs. But really you can't top the wisdom of Solomon. It comes seemingly direct from God after all.
